Abraham represents the beginning of the faith journey of post flood man. Like Seth, in an age before him, Abraham begins an era where men call upon the name of the Lord again; an era when there are some people that fear the Lord and seek to be right in His eyes. Abraham’s life is marked by trials that grew his faith and is written for us to understand what mercy is all about. Though all of us are sinful at our core, God's purpose was always to display the magnificence of His grace by freely giving salvation to those of moving faith like Abraham the father of us all.

We think too much, and talk too much, about graces and gifts and attainments — and do not sufficiently remember that faith is the root and mother of them all. In walking with God, a man will go just as far as he believes, and no further. His life will always be proportioned to his faith. His peace, his patience, his courage, his zeal, his works — all will be according to his faith. C.H. Spurgeon
